Food in Mikindani is healthy and fresh.
Fish and other sea food is the main source of protein. Following that there are eggs, chicken and a wide variety of beans. Red meat (beef and goat) is available in Mtwara. Vegetables such as spinach, carrots, eggplants, capcicums etc are usually available in Mikindani, if not Mtwara. Rice is the most popular staple but is too expensive for most people to eat every day. There is also corn flour, cassava flour, millet and spagetti. Sliced bread is avaialble but most people eat chapati or deep fried dognuts. Fresh milk is always available in the village plus some type of fruit or nut is always in season.
Because there is no electricity some guests may find it difficult to cook. But one meal that isn't is breakfast. Our watchman lights a fire every morning to boil water, so all you have to do is crack a few eggs in a pan. Re: Bread our watch man will also run down the hill to get you some fresh chapati. Re: lunch and dinner. Becasue there is no fridge, fish and meat have to be bought on the day. There are three ways to go 1. Buy your produce and cook for yourself, 2. Eat out, or get someone to cook for you. All of these will be discussed in future posts.
